The makers in China are amazing, and it was a privilege to meet such a great group of people at China’s first Maker Faire. We’ll be back next year for sure!

So inspirational! Here in Orlando, we are having a mini maker faire in a few weeks, it will be my first. I cannot wait to go. I am not sure what the turnout will be, but I hope it is well enough that they start doing them every year.
